The AirTAC Airtac SCJ50 Standard Cylinder SCJ50X80-50 is a genuine double-acting SINGLE-ROD air cylinder with a rear-cap ADJUSTING SCREW: the stroke end is field-adjustable within a 50 mm range without swapping the cylinder. Ø50mm bore, 80mm nominal stroke, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCJ50X80-50 is a double-acting, single-rod pneumatic cylinder with a 50 mm bore and a nominal 80 mm stroke, delivering 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. Its defining feature is the rear-cap adjusting screw, which provides a 50 mm field-adjustable range to fine-tune the stroke end position without removing the cylinder from the machine.
Built on a durable tie-rod construction, this model uses a 20 mm diameter piston rod with an M16x1.5 thread and PT1/4 ports. The adjustable air cushion, with a 21 mm cushion length, decelerates the piston smoothly, while the body length A(SCJ) is 194 mm, making it a compact solution for applications requiring frequent end-stop changes.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SCJ (adjustable-stroke) datasheet. The rear adjusting screw sets the stroke end position; force is the same as the equivalent single-rod SC bore. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT (standard) / G.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 982 N | 825 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1374 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 200 kgf | |
SCJ is single-rod, so force matches the equivalent SC bore: push uses the full bore area, pull subtracts the rod area. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure; size with a safety margin.

Related types: SC (single rod, fixed stroke), SCD (double rod), SCT (multi-position). SCJ mounting: Basic, FA, LB, TC, TCM1. Seals: TPU standard / H = Viton / N = NBR. Thread: blank = PT, G = G thread.
The 50 mm adjustment range lets technicians dial in the exact stroke end-stop during initial machine setup without needing to swap cylinders or fabricate external hard stops, saving hours of mechanical work.
On packaging or sorting lines, operators can quickly adjust the cylinder stroke to accommodate different product sizes or box dimensions, reducing line downtime between batches.
In clamping or pressing operations, the rear screw can be advanced to take up mechanical wear in tooling or seals, maintaining consistent contact force and extending the service life of the fixture.
Choose the SCJ50X80-50 when your process needs a 50 mm adjustable stroke window on an 80 mm nominal cylinder. If you require more force, the SCJ63 series offers 1559 N of push at 0.5 MPa; for a lighter, more compact solution, the SCJ40 provides 628 N. This adjustable-stroke unit is ideal for commissioning and format changes, but if your application only needs a single, fixed stroke, the standard SC50 series is a simpler, cost-effective alternative. For a direct replacement, match the 50 mm bore, 80 mm nominal stroke, 50 mm adjust range, PT port thread, and basic mounting style.
Adjustable-stroke checklist
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the push force is 982 N and the pull force is 825 N. The maximum push force at the 0.9 MPa upper limit is 1767 N. Because it is a single-rod cylinder, the push force is always greater than the pull force due to the rod area.
Yes, if you need the 50 mm field-adjustable stroke feature. The SCJ50X80-50 has the same bore, rod diameter, and port size as a fixed SC50. Ensure the slightly longer body length A(SCJ) of 194 mm fits your mounting space and that you match the PT port thread and basic mounting style for a drop-in replacement.
